Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Physical Therapy care with Dr. Jena Tilleman:

What is a Physical Therapist?

A Physical Therapist (PT) is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in movement and helps improve quality of life. They use hands-on care, education, and exercise to prevent injuries, manage pain, and restore function after illness or surgery.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy evaluation?

Your first visit with Dr. Tilleman will be a comprehensive evaluation. She will discuss your medical history and goals, followed by a thorough physical assessment of your posture, movement, strength, and flexibility. This assessment is the starting point for developing a personalized prevention and recovery plan.

Can physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

Yes, in many cases. Physical therapy can be as effective as surgery for conditions like chronic back pain, rotator cuff tears, or knee osteoarthritis. It's a powerful, non-invasive first step to reduce pain and improve function, potentially preventing the need for more invasive procedures.

How does physical therapy help prevent injuries?

Dr. Tilleman's physical therapy proactively identifies muscle imbalances, weakness, or poor movement patterns through a functional movement screen. A personalized exercise program is then created to correct these issues, preventing future injuries.

How can physical therapy help after a stroke?

Dr. Tilleman's physical therapy focuses on restoring neurological function after stroke. Through specific, repetitive exercises, we help retrain the brain, fostering neuroplasticity and regaining lost abilities like walking, balance, and strength. This ultimately maximizes independence and reduces the risk of falls.

What is pelvic floor physical therapy?

Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy focusing on the muscles of the pelvic floor. It's a highly effective, non-surgical treatment for conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and issues related to pregnancy and postpartum recovery, benefiting both men and women.

My child seems clumsy or behind in motor skills. Can PT help?

Dr. Jena Tilleman's pediatric physical therapists are experts in child development. They can perform a developmental screening to identify any delays and create a fun, play-based therapy program to help your child build strength, coordination, and confidence.

What is dry needling?

Dry needling is a skilled technique where a physical therapist inserts a thin needle into a muscle "trigger point" to release tension and relieve pain. It's based on Western anatomy and physiology, unlike acupuncture, and can be a helpful tool to accelerate your recovery.
